Well, a couple things...<br><br>DSLReports has an SBC prequalification forum that is staffed by SBC techs...they can test the loop and be for sure that you can or cannot get any kind of DSL. Anyone that claims to offer you DSL is just going to be reselling SBC's last mile. <br><br>As for Charter, see what their Internet-only plans are. You don't have to have cable TV. I had Earthlink over Time-Warner's lines...cable-TV free. <br><br>
